“Wow, you look like a Movie Star and this must be the Father of your children!”

Oh how I love company Christmas parties. Can you just guess how I responded to that?!? “Um, thank you, it’s just a dress…and no Earl (as I smile at Matt knowing that I’m going to have to apologize again for something else), father of my children?? Not that I’m aware of, but if and when that happens, we’ll let you know.” That’s when his wife stepped in and introduced herself. In her eyes you could see the embarrassment/the apology for allowing him to talk. We smiled and I laughingly let them know/Earl know for the millionth time that the cute photo was my nephew and restated again that I/we don’t have any children. Earl’s response, “Well when you do have kids, they’ll have round faces.” “Thanks Earl, I think that they would be cute too, (as I flash another “I’m sorry smile” at Matt)”. FYI, Liquor and co-workers are a very dangerous combination.
Wishing there was another day in the weekend.

P.S. As soon as I get the computer/camera talking again, I'll try to post some photos!
